Oh the glorious queen of the coast. One of my favorite places to shoot and one of my favorite photos I have shot here. This was shortly after the new bike path was finished, providing a nice spot to shoot from. If you look close you can see someone in the tube. Photo: Josh Gill

California really lit up during Hurricane Marie. I don't think anyone will forget where they were during that swell. I surely will not. Photo: Josh Gill

This final frame shot of Boyd Petersen driving through an emerald gem near his home is one of my favorite surf images I have shot from the water. I can't wait to score this place again. Photo: Josh Gill

Shot this image of Jack Robinson on my last night of a month-long trip to Bali in 2013. I always saw Padang Padang in mags and videos, but to actually witness it in person and snap a few sequences of Jack was a pretty unreal experience for me. Photo: Josh Gill

I have always been the one to better express myself. Not through speaking, but more through some sort of artistic expression. The best thing about art is that no one can tell you whether it’s right or wrong. They can only decide if they like it or not. Whether it’s drawing, painting, dance, music, film, or photography, it’s all about how your own creativity helps you be heard.
My passion for photography has grown to be quite strong over the past couple of years. And there’s no better feeling than being in the ocean with a set of fins and a camera in hand, swimming through the waves and capturing what I believe is Earth’s purest form of nature. I try to be humble and move the spotlight away. And so, for now, behind the lens is where I’ll stay.
